FDR: W4D10 - I'm cool
FDR. Sounds like a fvkken arcade dancing game.
TIME:
1400
Just woke up. Today is the day I get to join you guys in BC again. I check my mobile and it has 1 new message. I think to myself, "Arh fark.. friggin' flaker! It can't be!" I check it suspecting a message from Nat.
"Hey Sen, let's go get some clothes afterwork for this weekend. Let's pick up chicks again. Call ya at 5" - Jamal, formally Haz.
Heh, I guess Ja gets the peacock. I dig, you dig, we dig? Buh-garrrRR!!
I sms Nat telling her that we are still on for coffee at 4. I told her I'ld be there to pick up some stuff. After a shower and gel, I make my way to the bus station.
2nd rejection:
Married woman in her 40's. I decided to have some fun.
Me: Hey, been waiting for the 576 long?
HB40: Just 10mins.
Me: Cool, can I ask you a question?
HB40: Yes.
Me: Tell me why it's so hard to meet women these days. -Hahahaha, asking a woman for advice!!-
HB40: Oh really? You're a dashing young man. I'm sure you will be ok.
Me: Well I haven't been ok for a while. Can you suggest any place I can go to meet women?
HB40: Hahaha.. I don't know.. where young people are these days.
-I continue to act like a hopeless guy and she starts getting more and more involved-
Me: Can I ask you another question?
HB40: Sure.
Me: Will you have a coffee with me?
HB40: -blushes!- Oh, I'm flattered, but I'm married with 5 kids. My daughters about you age.
-I continue being hopeless-
I felt so dumb, had to catch an awkward bus ride to the mall. I don't know why I busted AFCness on her. I guess I just wanted to see what results I could get. Result: NOTHING.
So I get to the mall at 3:15ish. About 45mins for a walk around and cold approach my as$ for rejections.
Going for the 3rd rejection:
I make my way to the entrance of the mall passing the smokers area. HB7, dressed in black. Looks 14.
Me: Got another ciggy for me?
HB7: Yea. -Pulls out cigarette tin-
Me: Oh, you smoke 8s. How girly of you.
HB7: I just started a month ago.
Me: Cheers. -I pull out my Zippo and squeeze a little trick out-
HB7: Cool, you got a Zippo. I'm gonna get one as well.
Me: Well I'm trying to quit smoking. The Zippo encourages the habit cos I don't want to throw it away.
HB7: Yeah, I know. It's too cool to throw away.
Me: Hey, what's your name?
HB7: Jasmine.
Me: How about this Jasmine? Give me your number and we'll go for a coffee sometime. If you can get me to quit, I'll give you the Zippo.
HB7: Hmm.. ok. A free $40 Zippo.
-We trade numbers infront of people going in and out of the mall, it felt good. But still, how lame was that? Bound to happen with my cool dress sense-
After that I was on a high. A sarging high. How good must I be when I don't spit game and they still flock my way? Although the free Zippo enticed her, so I guess she just wants something I got.
3rd rejection:
I walk around looking for some CDs. Just so I got something to bring to the table at the coffee date. I walk into a Virgin store and head for the rock/alternative section. Hmm.. The Used got a new Live Performances album. And a free DVD! Erg, too pricey. I spot HB8.5 worker. Damn, a HB8.5 Virgin. Heh. She's nearby putting out some DVDs.
Me: Hey, did The Used ever bring out a DVD?
HB8.5: They got the Taste of Chaos tour DVD but it only has one act by them on it.
Me: Bummer, so no DVD out?
HB8.5: Just the new album.
Me: So I guess you too are a Used fan?
HB8.5: Yep! Went to the tour.
Me: No crap, me too. Best tour to hit town.
HB8.5: So far.. Simple Plan are coming down.
Me: Oh yea? I'll go but I don't dig them. A little boring. Give me your number and we'll meet up their.
HB8.5: I have a bf.
Me: Yeah. Ben right?
HB8.5: Hahahaha.. yeah.. No.
-I walk off. But I reckon I could get that number if I tried. But at this pace, I'll never get 10 rejections- Damn BC.
It's about 3:50ish so I make my way to the cafe we are meeting at. The one by the entrance. I give Nat a call to tell her that I'll be waiting there but she's already there! I hang up. It's getting weird, she's too early. Is she with someone?
I get to the cafe and she's alone. I know how to handle this.. I walk towards her and extend my palm out, facing upward, with a smile.
Me: Hey Nat, you're looking girly! -Pull in for a kiss on the cheek, but she's more front on and it's a side/lip kiss-
Nat: Hah! Would you prefer a boyish chick like Avril Lasagna? -whateva-
Me: Yeah.. She's good. Let's order there girly Avril.
Nat: No way, I'm way better than her.
-I lead her to the ordering area, pay and get the tables. I took my hand away from hers after the kiss but then held it again when she followed me and stood behind me while I ordered. Imprinting in her sub-conscious with good feelings for following my suit-
Me: Let's sit here. Only the best for my girly Avril. After you. -Indirect way of telling her she's mine-
Nat: Ooh.. heehee. Thankyou.
Me: You're so cute when you do that. Do it again. Pleazzze..
-While sitting next to her, hand on her hand, I fluff my way till the coffee comes. And guess who served us?! Jasmine!! So I guess I've got 4 rejections now. She smiled at me and then Nat giving us the coffees. Acting as tho she's never met me. I felt so playuh. I also had the sneeking suspicion that the coffee was bad-
Me: You know what? Are you as adventurous as I had hoped?
Nat: Hah yeah!
Me: Let's go.
Nat: Huh? Where? What about the coffees?
Me: I don't feel like coffee. I feel like a thickshake. We'll get the biggest one and share.
Nat: Car-rrazeee...
So we went to another cafe and got them to dump a thickshake on us. About was about 1.5 litres. She offered to pay as I payed for the coffees and I told her that I knew she was the independant woman type. Not owing to anyone or any man. I busted her on it and then told her that it was sexy. More push-pull. During the shake, Jamal called and asked me to come out to another mall to get a pink shirt he had been eyeing. Social proof! I'mma busy man. I told him I was on a date with a chick that has met my standards, "She's the only gurl who had exceeded my expectations and now I have to set myself new standards. Ja, your mum's too good. She's waiting for me, I'll call you back." Nat balled out laughing. She wsa quite talkative so I just gave just like a good conversationalist. Boring hard work being a great conversationalist.
Nat ended up going with Jamal and I to the other mall. We held hands and she clung on me a fair bit. Fvck-yeah! After the social proof display infront of Nat, now Ja gets his turn. But knows I'm cool anyways.
Rejections: 4, 6 more.
Seeming as we went in 2 cars, I went home with Ja and she went home alone. Erg.. I think of something later..
--
So slow start to week 4. I'll go out tomorrow night (friday) and get me some serious rejections with Ja and Moz. I'll tell em I'm doing it on purpose and encourage them to just do it for twist. Whateva..
And no, I'm not getting 1itis.
